  • 790 · 1 year ago
    Cool article Neil, yeah this film is a phenom an once in a decade event like Star Wars.

    I've seen it and I still think about it.
    Ledger was , Is the Joker. The sets and Batmans gadgits complete the film. So many cool things in every scene. I can guarantee you that the Batpod will be duplicated and marketed in the motorcyle world...............
    Some of the Batman flying scenes are the best in all film.
    Gonna be a great weekend!

    Good article.

    One question however will be foremost in the minds of all after TDK hits..what next?
    We have been dissappointed one too many times with movies by the time the third of the sequel rolls out. Superman 3, Spiderman 3, X-men 3..
    Chris Nolan is an intelligent director and im sure he can make the 'holy trinity' a package to remember. Fingers crossed.

    It seems obvious that Nolan will return to his roots, present Bat III in reverse-chronological order with interspersed black and white scenes of present-day.

    Remember Sammy Jankis.

    The more I read and see of TDK, the harder it becomes for me to wait for this to come out. Unfortunately I don't have any special hook-up for a pre-screening and btw-I need a job like this, doing something I absolutely love-i.e.-watching movies, & getting paid in full like Eric B. & Rakim! So, if ya'll got any connects in Toronto-please send them my way! So, as I have to wait and missed out on the free Joker IMAX giveaway...I am not sure when I'll be able to see this but all I know is I'm a have to call in a favour for babysitting so my wife & I can go see this awesomeness that is TDK in an IMAX theatre and fully enjoy our summer. My wife is as much a movie and comicbook fan as I am-so this is the most highly anticipated movie of 2008 for both of us!!! (*insert Homer's drooling sounds here.*)

    Personally I'm sure Nolan can make the third into a great movie as well...perhaps Catwomen?
    Oh and although Xavier died...X-men 3 was an incredible movie, quick playing yourselves!

    honestly... I prefered Batman begins above TDK... the acting performances were excellent, but I had trouble with the James Bondish sonar gadget batman got, it doesn't suite the film, too farfetched. As for part three, Nolan is an artist and will make a perfect ending for his trilogy and I'm glad he will stop after part three or forever be associated with the batman, too talented for that.

    I guess I liked the first one more because of scarecrow, because he's a character never seen before, maybe for part three get yet an unseen character/villain... perhaps, just of teh top of my head, a criminal gang in the line of the joker, googled some batman villains and found you can set up a whole team in the line of the joker... Ace, King, Trickster, Riddler, Harley Quinn, and so on... perhaps joker can get Dent to get his old friends to Gotham and well something like that, that would be batman renewed... just a thought...

    can't wait

    Batman 4... do or don't... only time will tell... but I know one thing... Nolan was the perfect director, great fan of him since I saw Memento, one of my favourites flicks ever, but if batman 4 should happen I think there's only one other director artistic enough to step in Nolan's footsteps and that's David Fincher and only him... otherwise leav it with the trilogy...

    They lost me at spiderman 3, they lost me at Xmen2, Fantastic4 silversurfer... it's difficult to make good comicflicks and even harder to make a good sequel... Loved Ironman, loved Incredible hulk, although hated Ang Lee's Hulk... hard business it it indeed...

    You know what I'd very very very much like to see turned into film, no comic I recon, but was a cartoon in the 80's... maybe you guys know it...

    Braveheart
    Strenght of the bear, speed of the puma, eyes of the hawk, ears of the wolve... and he had a transforming horse... with the special effect nowerdays it would work...

    Preferably, for everyone who isn't a viral marketer, the next Batman will have a better,
    relevant, screenplay, a better director and better actors, especially as Batman. The major
    complaint, obviously, was the terrible, yet overhyped, movie, the atrocious directing, and
    the terrible, badly-cast, gay actors. If this were imdb there would be more viral marketers
    here. They're like the cheap hustler telemarketers and telephone technical support of
    internet media. The next Batman movie needs to be just plain better. Meaning, NO
    BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
